Summit County events calendar for Aug. 23, 2013

Home Grown Mountain Jams will play today, and every Friday and Sunday, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Foote’s Rest Eatery in Frisco. This Summit County band is actually two bands: One is an acoustic act with two acoustic guitars and hand drums. The other is a full electric band. The band plays a variety of music, mostly covers, but is working on an album of original tracks. Home Grown Mountain Jams plays everything from the Grateful Dead to Alice in Chains to BB King to the Cure. The show is free. Call (720) 878-6669, or email purefunkdesigns@yahoo.com for more information.

This Must Be the Band comes to three20south in Breckenridge tonight. Chicago’s Talking Heads tribute band revives its influencer’s classic performance in a near perfect matter. Since 2007, this tribute band has been performing all-request shows night after night because it’s what they love to do. Not only has the lead singer (Charlie Otto) been called “the illegitimate son of David Byrne,” but the band boasts its very own Tina Weymouth (Jamie Jay), Bernie Worrell (Matt Gunsaulus), Adrian Belew (Otto), and Ednah Holt (Kasey Foster). Doors open at 9 p.m., and the music starts at 10. Tickets to the show are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Visit www.three20south.com for more information.
